DATIA and SHRM Poll Show Pre-Employment Drug Testing On the Rise!!

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA) released a poll this fall that showed the practice of requiring job applicants to take a pre-employment drug test appears to be gaining acceptance from employers. The September 7, 2011 poll revealed that fifty-seven percent of the survey participants’ organizations require all job candidates to take a pre-employment drug test, while less than a third (29 percent) do not have a pre-employment drug-testing requirement. The remaining 14 percent of respondents test applicants for safety-sensitive positions and when required by state law.
